As well as two average algorithm questions, the technical interview also asked three easy math questions. One commonsense question, one permutation question and one calculus. One of the coding questions was the classic fibbonacci sequence.

Question 1
Write an algorithm for generating the Fibonacci sequence and how would you optimise it.
The interview was challenging involving the team leaders & the manager in individual sessions & then a group session with everyone involved including a current graduate who took turns to ask interesting questions.
Broadly speaking, it consisted of a non-technical stage and a technical stage, all conducted via phone.
Non-technical stage included a chat with the equivalent of HR, finding out more about you and vice versa.
Technical stage was with a member of the team I would be joining, which was to find out more about my technical background. This included technical questions relevant to the work I'd be doing, in my case describing the inner workings of a particular process in detail.
